You can easily see this effect. Just start a youtube video or anything that has sound and close the lid. The computer is still running.
I can live with that for now. I discovered last night a Google Search app for Windows 8 (see live tile in screenshot) and something I searched for before: Google Maps for Window 8!!! It runs inside of the Google Search app and works really well (not that fake app on Windows store that cost 3 bucks and some change, but real Google Maps!). It can also work through Chrome although it has a few bugs. You can read about it in that forum I linked just a few posts up!!
